Melissa has been absolutely amazing with my Marley girl and to my crazy schedule! We relocated to the area and she has been instrumental in helping Marley socialize with other dogs and people. So thankful that we found her.

I love Melissa! She has been such a positive influence in my dog Lincoln’s life! He’s very anxious and fearful and from the second she walked through our front door? He has loved her! I feel so secure with Melissa training and helping Lincoln...I would highly recommend her! More...

Just want to take a quick second to say how amazing having Melissa there to watch our dog Ella while we were away it has been such a blessing because we have tried our trainers with no luck, Not only has she helped with few training issues but when away she was always keeping me posted with pictures and updates with Ella even went as far as spoiling her with not just love. ..but, treats n toys that Melissa got her . I reallly hope to continue to have her for Ella to continue with training and for when I go away sometimes for work because to have a trusted person. Taking care of ur dog is not easy to find at least for me it is and she’s definitely that , I know Ella will be taking care of the way I would with Melissa she’s been more than I can ask for. More...
What do you love most about your job?
The dogs! Dogs are the best and there is no greater reward than being able to help both dog and owner
What inspired you to start your own business?
My first dog, Trixy, was a rescue and she was to be put down if i returned her due to the severity of her behavioral issues. She lived under my care for the remainder of her life: 16 years. I never want a dog to be killed because they were not given a chance.
